Re “Police officer may see dismissal of case” (Oct. 12): What are the odds any sheriff or police officer in San Diego County will ever face prosecution for any action resulting in the death of a citizen? With the judge’s diversion of the case involving a Chula Vista police officer running a red light and killing a motorcyclist, the odds continue to be long — very long.
Holding sworn officers to the same standard of the public for an action resulting in the demise of another person seems more improbable. Impunity seems to be the word.
